Luci is the AI food advisor you talk to for flexible dieting. Text Luci the way you'd text a friend who is weirdly obsessed with nutrition, knows your likes and dislikes, and helps you hit your goals without the stress. "I'm hungry, what should I eat?" "Is this yogurt actually good for me?" "I just had a burger, log it." Luci answers instantly with your macros, meal history, and preferences already factored in. No second-guessing. Just an answer. WHAT LUCI DOES FOR YOU: - Solves "Decision Fatigue": Ask "What should I eat?" and Luci recommends meals based on your remaining macros—whether you're cooking at home, grabbing a snack, or ordering out. - Zero-Effort Logging: Just send a photo or text. Luci logs it. No searching generic databases, weighing ingredients, or scrolling through lists. - Reads Menus & Labels: Snap a photo of a nutrition label or a menu. Luci reads it and tells you exactly what fits your goals (and what to avoid). - Real Feedback: Ask "How am I doing?" and get actual coaching, not just a spreadsheet of numbers. THE LONGER YOU USE IT, THE SMARTER IT GETS Luci remembers that you hate cilantro, that you're aiming for 180g of protein, and that you usually overeat on Fridays. Every conversation makes the next recommendation sharper. WHO IS LUCI FOR? - People who want to hit their goals but are exhausted by the mental math. - Anyone who has quit tracking apps because it felt like homework. - People who'd genuinely rather have someone else decide what to eat. Stop tracking. Start talking. Download Luci and hit your goals consistently. If you have any ideas or questions please email us at team@askluci.app. NOTE: We do not offer medical advice. Any and all recommendations should be viewed as informational only. Please consult with a professional and do your own research before trying a new calorie and nutrient plan. *AI FEATURES REQUIRE A SUBSCRIPTION TERMS: https://pages.tradonna.com/Terms-of-Service-2ce6432a8c48803aa446e1620b64e3e2
